PureHeart 0 Report post Posted December 25, 2005 I'm having a study about uncopyrighted and copyrighted software usage.I'm writing this to ask all members of Xisto about what you have on your computer. In some country, people prefer using uncopyrighted software. In your reply, please include 1.List of copyrighted software that you have+ price for each. 2.The total value of uncopyrighted software on your system(if there's any)(you DON'T need to list the name of them) 3.Percent of copyrighted software that you use (based on value, not number).

Jeigh1405241495 0 Report post Posted December 27, 2005 Maaaaan, I'm not on my own computer right now, but I don't think I could help you out much regardless. Firstly, I don't know the price of half the software I've boughten over the years anymore, I could estimate but it'd probably all just be $50 a pop guesses. Also, if someone were to have illegal software, they probably wouldn't have gone out to check the price beforehand, especially on pricer items like photoshop which is known as a fairly pirated piece of software. I'll still take a look once I'm back on my own system and throw a list together if I remember, but I have a feeling some people such as myself won't be able to give you accurate info :| Unless I'm just dumb and everyone memorizes he prices of all their software except for me heh Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ginginca 0 Report post Posted October 10, 2006 Well like most people on here I have an extensive list which would take me quite a while to post.But on my paid software list I would have to say that one of my favorites is photoshop elements. I got it in a bundle when I bought a new scanner, which given the price of a scanner it was a great deal. Since I'm not a graphic designer it's a great tool. It does everything I need it to.Some of my other free ones that I frequently include:Audio Archive Compressor (love it)FirefoxWSFTP (so old that it was free when I got it.)Winzip (so old that it was free when I got it.)DVD DecrypterFor several years I paid for all the adobe apps for video and photo editing. But the cost of keeping the software current kept getting higher and higher. So the versions I have at the moment I can honestly say are not licensed.MS Office Professional I also received free as I knew someone who worked for a company that was a partner to MS. They were able to pick up copies pretty cheap. (legal versions.) I believe it was $10 or $30 - given the actual cost of the program I consider what I got it for to be free.Excell is one of my most used apps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kelvinmaki 0 Report post Posted August 3, 2007 I would understand especially when you are a student. Not that I'm encouraging not buying software, but think about it. There's so much freeware around and of course open source application. Sourceforge is one of the website I usually visit. And here are the list of software in my computer.Microsoft XP OEM FileZillaFireFoxThunderBirdXammpOpen Office7-ZipGIMPActive Virus ShieldPuttyGoogle TalkItune - all time favouriteAnd somemore from sourceForge.. So you can see, most of my application are free. Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
